Mornin’, BT, pups

Fat Tuesday

International Women’s Day

Massive (hopefully) demonstrations throughout FL against King Scott’s policy initiatives

Wisconsin Democrats are trying to be reasonable.

Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller appealed in a letter on Monday for a face-to-face meeting with Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald “to reach a bipartisan solution to our differences …

Elizabeth Warren in 2012

Brain McCain opining on the “no fly zone”…Now, why is it they keep asking him? Good Morning.

Russia, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council with veto powers, said it opposed foreign military intervention.

The world is listening. Does Russia have an alternative plan?

Let us know if Fox News Lies covers the protests.

I don’t watch teebee. Other than the demonstration in Tallahassee at the opening of the 2011 legislative session the demos are sked 4-6pm throughout FL. For this kind of stuff we line major roadways to catch the evening traffic.

Ralph Reed on my radio talking about values….but Haley is absent. Nice, I guess.

What’s the deal BT? Yesterday you post a link to a wsj piece that is immediately discredited and then next day you link to another one that a few paragraphs in repeats the same lie. What gives?

Just what we need another OIL WAR!

Ralph Reed on my radio talking about values…

So much humor so early in the day. Would those values be his connections to Jack Abramoff or Tom DeLay?

Good morning all.

It’s OK if you’re a Regressive.

Meanwhile, Morning Gulp are listening to the selective outrage revving up from Peter [just another Dick] King, channeling his inner Joe McCarthy.

Scott Walker and the Republithugs have no interest in negotiating or compromising with Democrats, public employees, or anyone else oppose to their radical and dangerous partisan agenda. Their marching orders from the Kochs are to bust the unions…

Yep…so impressed. So, as I forgot: HAPPY MARDI GRAS.

Ralph Reed on my radio talking about values

The values of hooking up with Jack Abramoff?

Waiting for someone to ask P King when he’s holding hearings on the radicalization of the right wing terrorist elements in this own country.

I think King let his inner Joe McCarthy out a long time ago…

Hot off the presses…

Hey BT & Firepups of Fire…

Sure, nothing like a great return on your investment, as they say.

From Juan Cole this morning

Arguably, Tunisians are now freer than Americans. The US government thinks our private emails are actually public. The FBI and NSA routinely read our email and they and other branches of the US government issue security letters in the place of warrants allowing them to tap phones and monitor whom we call, and even to call up our library records and conduct searches of our homes without telling us about it. Millions of telephone records were turned over to George W. Bush by our weaselly telecom companies. Courts allow government agents to sneak onto our property and put GPS tracking devices under our automobiles without so much as a warrant or even probable cause. Mr. Obama thinks this way of proceeding is a dandy idea.

You’re waiting for Joe or Mika to ask him that? You’re gonna be there a looooooong time.

Dear God…Is this what the Greatest Generation was fighting for? At least, nice that the truth does get out.

Mika would have an aneurysm…which would actually be pretty entertaining TeeVee…

Good Morning all,
eCAHN. is all ok w/you? recvd strange e-mail from your acct. concerned here.

Thanks for reminding us all what a wonderful country we live in, and how grateful we should be for its enlightened leadership.

Whooops. No questions about P King turning a blind eye to extremist homegrown white supremist and other American groups and lone wolves.

I’m so surprised.

Sorta cool exercise. I can’t (and don’t) vouch in any other way about the site, but the toy is fun and educational…

Obama learned well from his mentor and predecessor President Bush Cheney:

The White House has rejected a request from the House Energy and Commerce committee for information about “every meeting, briefing or telephone call” the administration had with non-governmental parties in the lead up to, and wake of, passage of the health care law.

At least it will be entertaining to watch the Roberts court twist itself in a knot to justify why Cheney secret energy meetings = good while Obama secret insurance company/pharma meetings = bad.

My aol address book got broken into & spam was sent out to the entire list. I’m sorry that everyone got bothered. Spent yesterday trying to fix it but everything is still not right.

Rec that everyone who got the spam run your security programs.

I rec the same email that when out on a bogus yahoo account in my name several weeks ago. I immediately deleted it but it may have been how my aol address book was hijacked.

But other than the drooling, would anybody notice if Mika stroked out?

Of course the disturbing thing is that the government, the MIC, the police, the CIA and so forth ARE americans… your neighbors and relatives. All of these people enable the fascism that american has become. Some make out very well and could care less… some think it’s only a matter of time before they get theirs if they play the game, some are completely blind to reality and live in a Truman show, and a few have their hair on fire and no one cares.

We ARE the government. We ARE our own oppressors.

aol is notorious for that. I have a friend who got hacked in a similar fashion and she eventually had to abandon that account,

Time for a meet up…???

Laissez les bon temps roulez.

There might be an extra eye-roll or two, but aside than that, you make an excellent point.

AOL is awful for email…. change to another.. perhaps gmail… demonstrably better… but they all suck eh

OK, Tanx. thought so as you were posting as usual. Pheww!

had similar problem recently and it’s all new to me. just dropped by to check, now must take dogs to dog run. Peace to all. bbl. bjnts

And plenty of croissants, too. Wait. What?

Ding-Ding-ding!

Nicely said.

And wishes for a very good morning to all.

Cheers….I always have trouble spelling that French…thanks. And also to you.!!

I’m considering that. I’ve had it for over a decade, so it would be a pain in the neck to change.

One step at a time. Won’t make the aol decision until I get the rest of my computer working properly again.

always up for the meetup. hope all well there. bbl. bjnts

Let Muslim Gold Star Mothers Testify at King Hearings

Apparently Gaddhafi Kadaffy is to have a surprise meeting with the foreign press shortly. Richard Engle tweets:

Reporters in tripoli gathering for ‘big arrival’.. No word who.. Perhaps Qaddafi?

In tripoli.. Red carpet rolled out.. Sniffer dogs at journalists hotel ahead of mystery guest

Reporters waiting for mystery guest http://yfrog.com/h3pviovj

Told mystery guest is ‘our leader’.. qaddafi

Security tight before guest.. Told if we try to film from balconies ‘we will be shot’ by security

The ‘we would be shot’ was a warning.. Don’t surprise qaddafi’s security detail.. Don’t hide in bushes and try to film

I’ve had it for over a decade, so it would be a pain in the neck to change.

Yeah, I hear ya. My email was hacked from the Discus platform recently and I got no end of new spam. I deleted a blocked and marked and I’m still getting some. Spammers suck ass.

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

US KIA Afghanistan: 1,495

US KIA Irak: 4,439

Iraki, Afghan and Pakistani casualties: estimates vary to over 1.5M

US MBS 2011: 8,184 and counting

Hellbound Train

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things

Namaste

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You are teh funny! They might invite decent, hard working, good Muslims, (in other words, the vast, overwhelming majority), if these hearings had any point other than demonizing a whole class of people.

New post up top…

The US should not be involved in Libya. You do realize that it is within spitting distance of Europe, right? We don’t have to do everything. How about the NATO nations do something on their own?

The last thing we need to do is endanger more misguided disenfranchised children who foolishly joined the military in hopes of having a bright future.

We wouldn’t be involved in so many oil wars if we had other energy sources.

That raises the question of why we all need a third party to handle e-mails instead of just using our own peecees. Yes yes, I know you need a permanently available box on the net if anything is to get there. It’s just annoying.

eCAHN, sorry about the mishap.

thanks eCAHN – it was in my spam folder and it looked like spam, I figured that’s what happened

That Coates article is unintentionally hilarious.

The prayer-warrior he cites manages to debunk exactly nothing that Sheen claims about the abysmal failure rate of AA and similar Jebus-help-me rehab scams, provides no supporting evidence for any alternatives, and then tries to cover its wounded defensiveness with an explanation that some people just can’t handle the toughness of pleading to a sky daddy to make everything all better.
